The Dillingham District Attorney’s Office is recruiting to fill a full-time assistant district attorney position. In this position there is opportunity for significant trial work, as well as pre-trial motion practice, daily court hearings and some post-conviction and appellate work. You will need strong oral advocacy skills. Prior trial experience and experience in the practice of criminal law is a plus but is not required. This position requires the ability to think critically and reason logically; the ability to communicate clearly verbally and in writing; the ability to organize, prioritize, and work effectively in a deadline-controlled atmosphere; and the ability to manage numerous matters simultaneously. Travel will be required to cover court in the outlining communities as well as to Anchorage to hold grand jury hearings.
This is a one-attorney office and as such it provides ample opportunity to acquire experience in a wide variety of criminal prosecutions, both misdemeanor and felony, in a short period of time. You will not be entirely on your own, however. You will have a strong legal assistant and a paralegal along with supervision and backup support from the Anchorage District Attorney’s Office. Assistant District Attorneys who fulfill a two-year commitment in a rural location are given preference to transfer to other district attorney offices in the state as vacancies occur. A rural commitment is a great way to acquire a variety of experiences in a short amount of time, which is highly valued within the division.
Pay Range is $87,828-$139,542.
